DG Innovate (LSE: DGI), the advanced research and development company pioneering sustainable and environmentally considerate improvements to electric mobility and energy storage, announces that, in accordance with its remuneration policy, on 12 October 2022 the Company approved the adoption of an executive share option scheme (the "Scheme") and granted under the terms of the Scheme 690,790,814 options with an exercise price of 0.1p per share over ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each in the capital of the Company to its CEO, Peter Tierney (the "Options").

The vesting of the Options will occur on either (i) the occurrence of a change in control of the Company or (ii) Peter Tierney remaining as an employee of any DG group company until 12 October 2025.

The Company has an existing long term incentive plan ("LTIP") which was adopted on 9 April 2022 as a discretionary executive share plan. Under the LTIP, the board may, within certain limits and subject to any applicable performance conditions, grant to eligible employees options to acquire nominal cost options over shares ("LTIP Options"). The Company confirms the lapse of 72,048,463 LTIP Options at an exercise price of 0.1p per share granted to Christopher Theis, following his resignation as CEO from the Company, effective on 1 July 2022. On 12 October 2022, the board also approved an amendment to the LTIP, increasing the total number of options over shares that may be granted to employees, from 10% to 15% of the issued share capital.

The Options granted to Peter Tierney on 12 October 2022 represent approximately 7.81% of the Company's issued share capital. In total 2,505,041,874 options are now outstanding, representing approximately 28.3% of the Company's issued share capital.
